I find it ironic that the liberals believe these things but then turn around and institute policies that make it even worse for the poor. How much have gas and food prices risen since Obama took office? His policies have helped to make those prices go up. I also find it ironic that there seems to be a correlation between his policies and corporations' unwillingness to grow and hire more workers. They are all afraid to grow because they don't know if they could make it under this administration. Look at what Obamacare has already done to a lot of jobs? Immediately after Obama was reelected look at how many business started announcing layoffs and cuts to their full-time workforce in exchange for more part-time workers. Aren't things like this disproportionately affecting the poor? Taxes aside if we had policies that encouraged business growth and didn't penalize businesses as much wouldn't a lot of this be negated and we would have less of a revenue problem?
